Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I FOUND SOMETHING TO DO INSTEAD :D when I want to, I instead eat a healthy food that I hate the taste of (e.g spinach, brussel sprouts) and tell myself that I deserve the foul taste... if i want to see the blood, i just get a pen or red lipstick or something and draw a mark on my arm... c: Lol XD

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Listening to positive music is really helping right now. No negativity for me!
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Distracting myself by reading and listening to music. :3
Oh, and occupying myself with homework. >.< But, anyway, nearly at four weeks! :) |
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Wanting to hear him say he's proud of me.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I come on TH, and write music :)
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I've started doing it for my best friend again. :) Gonna get rid of my blade.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Writing. :)
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I can't be wearing a wristband when my dad takes me and my sister out next month, so I need to stop.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Listening to music...it just drowns all the thoughts away for awhile until i calm down...
Wrists are for braclets not for cutting... |
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Realizing what it's done to the people in my life.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I'm realizing now that so many people want me to stop, even if I really... really don't want to. So I might just start posting in here, a day to day process. I've gone pretty much a month and a couple of days (I'm not counting this small scratch I made). So yeah.
What I'm doing recently is talking about my feelings, and realizing how addicted I really am. Its come to the point where I can't control my own decisions without taking into account how much I think I need SH. I'm talking to a couple of my friends about it, and I might draw a butterfly, just for the hell of it. |
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
By thinking about my goal.
And by thinking about my sister's wedding that's next year. |
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Today I realized that working out makes me feel better and so now I do that instead of cutting. :)
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
My friend thinks that the way to make me stop is to take away just random belongings... like jewelry, notebooks, headphones, just things I like. So yeah. I don't want him to do something that stupid so I guess... blah.

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Wow, I'm here again, but it has been longer than a week so....
Anyways, right now, this very moment, I'm starting to think that I want to give it up. Just to... try and be happy.... I'm going to an amusement park on Thursday, and I was trying on my brand new bikini, and I saw all of my really deep, noticeable scars on my hip and well...... now I'm just thinking.... is it worth it? I wanna really try this time. I'm going to fool myself into thinking that I want to give up cutting, and maybe I will just... start to believe myself? :hug: |
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I'm not doing very well at the moment, but I'm trying to keep myself distracted with disney movies. xD

Talking to my best friend. Listening to music. c: |
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I was feeling really depressed all last week, and I was going to SH, but on Thursday I went back to visit my guidance counselor at the middle school I went to, and without even knowing she was doing it, she saved me from harming myself again.

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I've found that immersing myself in childhood nostalgia surprisingly helps. I see a couple of people have mentioned Disney movies, I watch those sometimes as well as TV shows I used to watch as a kid.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Well I watched tarzan last night. :) That helped.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Lately I've been going back to playing games I used to really enjoy to distract myself in good memories. :3

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Spending time with my best friend. ^.^

Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I never have urges now, I did it once or twice a year ago, but after that, the urges stopped.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Wow... So many posts on my post... Well I have new alternatives now :) music, and art. <3
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I hid my tools (sort of-at least they're out of easy reach) and I talk to a friend and/or exercise. I also try to remind myself that the scars will keep fading if I don't give in to the urges, and summer won't be as much of a problem.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Talked it out, danced it out, smoked it out, wrote it out.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Instead of cutting I sought out help on the internet and ended up here :)
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Getting work done! I find there's a good feeling that accompanies being productive. :)
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Helping my cousin through his break-up. Makes me happy making him feel less alone. ^.^
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Reading all of these posts about how such strong people have been able to resist the urge; that's what is helping me right now.
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
I work on school work to feel productive or loose myself in a good book or one of my own stories that I am writing. When that does not work I try to go sleep so I can wake up and start over. When I cannot sleep I go for a walk outside to feel free. :)
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Looking at funny stuff on the Interwebs. :dem:
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Posting around on TeenHelp threads like a crazy person. :dem:
|
Re: How are you beating Self Harm?
Going to call or video call my friend when I have strong urges instead of just texting. And actually make sure I talk to her instead of making excuses about myself being a burden. I seriously need to stop this time.
